On What His Work With The Green Lantern Corps Actually Involved:
"I worked on the costume initially with Ngila Dickson, but I came in when she had really established it. So I just dabbled a bit with finding some details with her. So I can’t say that I was too instrumental in costume, but with regards to the Corps each of those aliens, the selected ones because there are many to choose from and we couldn’t do them all, they have their costumes, but it’s mostly that you do a cool creature and then essentially you dice it up graphically and you’ve got a costume. But it really wasn’t creating the base idea of the Green Lantern Corps."
On The Challenges Of Bringing The Characters To Life On The Big Screen:
"The challenge simply put is that you’re trying to be true to the franchise and the expectations of the fans so that when they see it they’re not disappointed. That’s important. They feel like you’ve breathed life into a character that’s only been a 2-D image. That’s the challenge, to be able to pull it off so that it feels viable. Because their hero characters and you have the eyes of the studio, the eyes of the franchise owners looking at those and wanting them to be perfect and everyone has their own mental interpretation of how you would take drawn characters and make them realistic."
On The Huge Amount Of Work That's Gone Into Designing Parallax:
"Everyone worked on Parallax on the production, I think. It’s such an important thing. I was very involved in coming up with my version of Parallax. Often times these movies are so collaborative that there a lot of hands involved and I’ve often equated it to a relay race where many people hold that baton at some point and each one of us carrying that baton is an aide to bring the one person through the finish line, but it’s just that often times the one person that carries the baton to the finish line tends to get most of the credit. I was very fortunate to carry many batons through ‘Green Lantern’, but Parallax is one of those things where many people held that baton. I have no idea how he actually looks now."
